ETIHAD CABIN CREW PRE-ASSESSMENT Q&A (Part 2)


You’ve confirmed your attendance and started getting your documents ready — now it’s time to handle the details that can make or break your application.
Here are the next essential questions aspiring cabin crew ask 👇

💬 Q6: In the survey link Etihad send via email, there’s a question about languages. Should I mention all the languages I know?
✅ A: Not quite!
✈️ English is mandatory — make sure you include it.
Also list your native language or dialect, plus only those you are fully fluent in — meaning you can read, write, and speak them confidently.
👉 Skip any languages you can only speak but not read or write.

💬 Q7: I declared the wrong height by mistake (for example, 160 cm instead of 159 cm). What should I do?
✅ A: No worries — your height will be measured again in person for accuracy.
But keep in mind: if you fall below the minimum requirement, you unfortunately won’t be eligible for the Cabin Crew role at Etihad.
✨ Honesty from the start is key — they’ll always double-check.

💬 Q8: I’m not sure if my tattoos fall within the allowed areas. What should I do?
✅ A: If you’re unsure, take a clear photo and send it to ccrecruitment@etihad.ae
before the event.
The recruitment team will review it and advise you on next steps.

🩵 During the assessment, Etihad may perform a standard tattoo check (which can include using a makeup remover wipe) to confirm everything aligns with their grooming standards.
This is all about transparency and professional appearance — core parts of the Etihad image.

⚠️ Important: Giving false or incomplete information (in your application or during the assessment) will lead to immediate disqualification or even termination after hiring.
Be open and truthful — it’s the only way forward.

💬 Q9: What are the guidelines for submitting my photographs? Can I take them at home?
✅ A: Absolutely — just make sure your photos are professional-quality and follow Etihad’s requirements 👇
